Title: This is too funny....
Post by Redd on Jan 22^nd, 2008, 7:34pm

I just had the first of two phone interviews for a piece being written by the Wall Street Journal Weekend, about online dating and the stealing of profile content.

Since I'm not dating, and don't have a desire to date, I have a profile on a totally free dating site simply for the forums. ( I really like the food/recipe forum and get great tips and share mine as well)

Anyway, a couple months back there was a thread about profile stealing. I ran across that this summer on Yahoo personals when a guy I was emailing for a while stole my "about me" section ver batum.

Anyway, I was contacted by a reporter for the WSJ last week. (I did check out her credentials and she is a reporter there)

So I was on the phone with her for a half hour tonight and will do the second half of the interview on Thursday.

Oh well, it's been one hellava day. It's the full moon, what can I expect?

Oh..and I had my all time largest sale today, (even though they may cancel half of it due to our corporate billing procedures... but I've worked something out that may save that in the long run).

If they don't pull out on what we first discussed, I'll have sold a $14.5K sale to run from Jan 27th through Feb 10th. Largest 2 week sale on record for Central if numbers fall right. Keep that in your thoughts for me, I really need the revenue.

Wow, getting a piece on the weekend without dating!

Sounds exciting!

Ok, couldn't help it.

Pegg, that story will make some sweet lemonade from the lemon you were emailing for awhile.

Thanks everybody who wished me well.

And thanks Mel for the "atta-~~boy~~ girl".

After 3 months of crazy azzed unrealistic goals, this sale came out of the blue just in time to make up for last year's political ad revenue losses. (No heated races this year).

I needed thias to finally get a decent comission check, though it won't pay out until next month.

So, I guess the first round's on you? ;)

You go, girl! Congratulations!

First round on me??? [smiley=laugh.gif]

Comissions are capped, and taxed like hell. I may end up with enough to pay off my credit card from the Holidays, with the rest to pay H&R Block to do my taxes.
